We did some testing yesterday at the lake. Everything went great and the boat handled pretty good. We still had the mufflers on and well over 120 gal of fuel on board. May have to try some different props sometimes since we are hitting the rev limiters very quickly. Anyways still a great run for a full pleasure boat.

A special thanks to Lightning Performance Group and Nauti Marine, Inc.

great # Ben!! mercury#1 for a reason.

SLOWRIDE-388 10-17-2010 07:29 PM

Thanks everybody, brought the boat back home today, safe and sound sitting in the shop. Got it all winterized and all fluids changed for next season or maybe florida for the winter, just kidding, but what a great idea. Going to do some more updating this winter. More projects to come, nothing like before though...I hope

thunderusone 10-18-2010 08:08 AM

What a great set up. You have to be pumped to be runnnig 126 in one of the biggest luxury V bottoms in its class. What is even more amazing to me is that it takes alot more hp to run 126 in my 37 that is alot smaller. Technology is amazing! Congrats!

johnlomant 10-19-2010 08:44 AM

That is fast wow. I see a SV in my future

26offshore 10-19-2010 08:31 PM

Love the look of that boat. You mentioned that you did a lot of projects, what did you have to do to it when you bought it?

We just updated it with all new interior, freshened motors, and fully serviced everything in between. Ran all summer with no issues. Love the boat, but still want to change some things.

richanton 10-22-2010 02:54 PM

Post some pics of the interior when you get a chance, especially if you have before and after.

What else do you want to change?

SLOWRIDE-388 10-22-2010 10:29 PM

Will see were I got some before pics
